"Oakmoss" Show Lead
The Details:
Elegant and natural. This beautiful lead features 3 dark brown leathers with one olive metallic strand that compliment the swirling oakmoss lichen tones of the 3 artisan glass bead clusters. Finished with two dark brown handtied turkshead knots, this lead truly is reminiscent of natures beauty.
I take care to inspect every inch of every strand of leather to ensure there are no splices that would weaken your end product. From there each strand is split and beveled (which helps get a smooth, even braid) before being stretched and conditioned. Once the leather is prepared it is tightly braided around a 300lb Dacron test core. Once the braiding is finished my leads are rolled and conditioned again for a soft, smooth lead that only gets better with use!
The Dimensions:
- Lead measures 36" from end to end
- Thumb loop is 2.25"
- Collar Loop end is ~1.25" long
- Bead clusters are set at 4.5", 13.5", and 22.5" from collar end (~8" between each set)
Photos are taken indoors under UV lighting. Colours may not be exactly as they appear in real life due to variances in monitors and lighting. If you would like additional photographs in natural lighting please contact me.
Show leads are not intended for day to day use (i.e. walking). Over-conditioning of your lead will result in foils rubbing off quickly. Show leads last best when they are used on fairly well trained dogs.
